### APPENDIX D. Multicast Routing Protocols

Multicasting is a relatively new technology within the Internet Protocol family. It is not widely deployed or commonly in use yet. Its importance, however, is expected to grow over the coming years.

This Appendix describes some of the technologies being investigated for routing multicasts through the Internet.

A diligent implementor will keep abreast of developments in this area to properly develop multicast facilities.

This Appendix does not specify any standards or requirements.
